According to The Athletic, the sequence of events left the teenager feeling 'humiliated', 'scapegoated' and 'unprotected', which led to increased speculation over his future.

However, he has been in superb form since returning to the team.

Nevertheless, allowing the 20-year-old to leave would almost certainly be of financial reward for the Bundesliga outfit, and while a January switch is unlikely, it is understood that the club could be willing to allow him leave in the summer.

Chelsea 'prepare bid'

The Borussia Dortmund star has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester United among the clubs linked with signing him.

A January move seemed unlikely, but there have been suggestions that he could move on in the summer, with both clubs said to be monitoring his situation in Germany.

And Tottenham have been entered back into the race for his signature.

According to the Mirror, Chelsea have cooled their interest in Zaha because they want to focus on getting a deal done for Sancho. Whether that be this month or in the summer remains to be seen.

Dortmund decision

Borussia Dortmund made a decision not to sell Sancho during the January window.

That is the message coming from Sky in Germany who say that the Bundesliga outfit are adamant the Englishman will not be allowed to leave the club in the January transfer window because they fear they would not be able to replace him.

The England international has no release clause in his long-term contract that currently keeps him at the club until end of June 2022.

Dortmund eye replacement

The England international has been attracting interest from Chelsea and Manchester United - among others - after some scintillating performances for Borussia Dortmund this season.

Sancho has scored 17 goals in 34 games for club and country so far this season, with the 19-year-old enjoying a purple patch in front of goal in recent weeks, with 11 goals in his last 13 appearances in Germany.

However, Belgian publication HLN claim that Dortmund are eyeing up a move for Club Brugge star Emmanuel Dennis, with the report suggesting he could be seen as the answer to Sancho’s likely departure.

Chelsea fan Q&A survey

Liverpool warning

Liverpool are another team that have been linked with a summer move for Sancho, but club legend John Banes has sent a warning to the England international over a possible move to Old Trafford.

"If Jadon Sancho is willing to come to Liverpool and not play every week and sit on the bench, then absolutely he should come to Liverpool," he told BonusCodeBets.

"But I always tell young players to be careful and play at a high level for four-five years before moving to a bigger club.

"Salah and Mane have been around for four or five seasons now and have shown their quality and experience, whereas Sancho has been around for 18 months and needs to show that consistency over a three-year period before he costs £100 million to a huge club.

"That doesn’t happen in modern football anymore, nowadays, if you are young and have just one good season, someone is going to spend £80 million-plus on you.

"I would advise Jadon Sancho to develop more and show that level of consistency before he is going to be put under a lot of pressure by being a £100 million player playing at one of the biggest clubs in the world."

Coronavirus impact

According to German outlet SportBild (via SportWitness), Chelsea are pushing ‘intensively’ to sign Sancho in the summer, with the price quoted at around €130 million (£109 million).

There is however no claim that any talks between the two clubs have yet taken place.

The report does though claim that the current situation with the coronavirus outbreak could have an effect on the deal, with finances of clubs around the world taking a big blow because of the league suspensions.

Man United 'agree almost every detail'

Manchester United believe they have won the race to sign Sancho this summer, with a report by The Sun claiming that United believe they have agreed a deal in almost every detail.

The England international has become one of the most highly sought-after players in world football in recent months, with the likes of Chelsea and United showing a great level of interest in signing him from Dortmund.

However, any hopes that Chelsea had of concluding a deal may now be over, with the latest report claiming that almost every aspect of a transfer to United, including his contract and bonuses, has been agreed.

Chelsea identify Sancho alternative

According to Goal, Chelsea have turned their attentions to a cheaper alternative.

Villarreal midfielder Samuel Chukwueze could be the option that the Blues prefer to take.

He has a release clause in the region of £53million, meaning he will cost half the price of Sancho, and while he has impressed in La Liga this season, he will not have the same goals output as Sancho, with just four to his name.

Havertz interest

Kai Havertz's impressive displays in the Bundesliga since the resumption of the season have alerted a number of clubs, with Chelsea among them.

The Sun reported that the Blues were keen on the young Bayer Leverkusen forward in April, before the Bundesliga returned.

He is likely to cost a similar amount to Sancho.
